Episode 8
Although 2005 Bowman Baseball was not a new box of cards, I can’t dismiss a product because it’s not a current release. Just look at what I pulled from this box and you will see that it was well worth taking a step back in time. The gold bordered parallel cards found in every pack is a good incentive for collectors to Rip this box to pull their favorite players gold version card. With the 3 different types of cards in the base set, it helps to have them in 3 different colors to help identify these cards. Watch and see what I Pull from this box and decide if you would like to Rip and Pull a box like this yourself.
